Become a feudal king from today - #893 - Chapter 907: Sam Country
“God bless, the great Sam Kingdom and Britain must defeat this bastard King Yan. In this way, we Japan will be able to stand up, and the overlord position of the Eastern Territory will still belong to us Japan.” Taro Mataro looked towards the direction of Sam Kingdom, Demeanor pious.
Now the Westerners have their faith and their god.
It was their incomparable respect for the Western Lands that allowed them and the southern vassal lords to persist until now under the continuous attacks of King Yan’s army.
To them, King Yan was just a successful villain.
Eventually, the Westerners would hang him.
Now, Sam’s warship has finally arrived.
This gave them hope, and everyone’s fighting spirit was rekindled.
“The Western natives pinch King Yan to death, just like squeezing an ant to death. They will definitely win.” Watanabe suddenly looked crazy, “If that day comes, I must ask the Western natives to leave King Yan to I, I will cut off his head myself.”
“We still want to kill the people who vassal King Yan, and then let’s have a massacre!” Taro Asana suggested, his expression also twisted.
They looked at each other and laughed.
“But the most important thing right now is to eliminate the lackeys of King Yan like Hojo Kawakei and regain control of Japan.” Watanabe said with a determined expression, “Pass my order, kill one person on the battlefield, and advance to three levels in a row. Kill the one who kills Hojo Kawakei. The land directly given to the Hojo family was granted the title of feudal lord, and the same was true for the other three Ono families.”
“Yes, General, with such a huge reward, our soldiers will definitely go crazy. Hojo and the others are about to die.” Asana Taro sneered.
…
Morro Island.
It is located on the sea three thousand miles southeast of Japan, halfway between Australia and Japan.
At this moment, eight steamships and thirty-six sail warships are docked here.
On the pier, Admiral Powell of the Sam Kingdom frowned and looked at the combination of a steamship and a sail warship that had just returned from the Japanese waters.
The steamship was still intact, but there was a huge hole in the tail of the sailing battleship, and there were traces of flames.
“The battleships of Da Song are indeed difficult to deal with. Their shells are very deadly. As long as they are hit, they will either be seriously injured or sunk.” The captain of the sailing battleship reported to Powell with lingering fears.
“Aren’t you also preparing explosive bombs on your battleship? Why not use them?” Powell looked serious.
Previously, naval wars were often contests of solid ammunition.
But in the Battle of Japan, King Yan’s fleet set a precedent for sinking a warship with explosive shells, which shocked the entire Western Navy.
So, they urgently moved the explosive bombs used by the army to the battleship.
“General, this is not our responsibility. As you know, when using blooming ammunition, you cannot fill the naval gun with too much ammunition. This causes the range of our blooming ammunition to be inferior to that of solid ammunition.”
“So when fighting, we can only use solid bullets first, and then use explosive bombs when we are getting close. However, Da Song’s battleship fired explosive bombs from the beginning.” The captain was very aggrieved.
Powell was silent.
After a moment, he cursed: “Damn, how did they do that.”
Since the blooming bullet is in the air, it cannot withstand excessive chamber pressure.
Therefore, the amount of gunpowder used can only be reduced, which shortens the range.
“General, with all due respect, if you want to defeat one of their warships, you need at least three hunting ships, one to attract their artillery fire, two to flank them, approach them, and then use explosive bombs.” The captain summarized this. times experience.
Powell nodded.
All the admirals of the Western and Turkish naval forces have experienced hundreds of battles, and the Battle of Japan gave them a clear idea.
The Dasong Fleet is one-on-one with them and has a great advantage.
But precisely because of the advantages of the Dasong Fleet, they must destroy the Dasong Fleet as soon as possible.
Now, at least there are not many battleships in the Dasong Fleet, Shu Liangliang, so they still have some chance of winning together.
Even if they can’t win, annihilating some of their warships can delay the development of their navy.
Otherwise, wait for the number of King Yan’s fleet to come up.
Everything will be powerless.
The maritime age that the Westerners have dominated for three hundred years will come to an end.
This is also the reason why Sam State temporarily put aside its hatred with Britain and cooperated together.
Furthermore, it took fifty years to get rid of British rule.
The steam industry in Sam’s country is booming and it is in urgent need of market.
They are ambitious and want to get their own colonies in the world like the traditional Western powers.
Japan was their first step in colonizing the East.
But this step was abruptly interrupted by King Yan.
If we don’t talk about them, how can the gentlemen in Congress just give up?
“You and your crew should rest for a while.” Powell turned to the other captains, “The investigation of King Yan’s fleet will continue. Also, you and your crew will go to Tianzhu. The combined fleet should have arrived in Tianzhu. Come down, we need to take unified action.”
“Yes, General.” The other captains shouted.
Powell gave a military salute, turned around and left the dock.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at the battleship in the dock.
Their country of Sam has a total of 200 warships in service.
However, many of the 200 warships are old and require routine maintenance every year.
This part of the warships reached more than 40 ships.
Some of the remaining warships were in the colonies at the southern tip of the New World, protecting merchant ships on the route from pirate attacks.
Therefore, after deliberation, they chose to send all the steamships and thirty-six sailing warships.
At the same time, this also takes into account the supply capacity of Moro Island, which can only support so many warships.
“Hopefully, at least eight steamships can go back alive this time.” Powell read.
Compared with Britain, Sam’s country’s industry is still far behind.
They had also just mastered steamship technology.
These eight steamships can be said to be the entire possessions of the Navy and have always been regarded as treasures.
Although he believed that the combined fleet could deal with King Yan’s fleet this time.
But in battle, huge losses are inevitable.
He expected this loss to be minimal.
Of course, if he could really annihilate King Yan’s fleet, he would be willing even if it was completely lost.
The vast ocean is the backyard of the Western Kingdom.
No one wants a strong man from the East running rampant in their backyard.
Otherwise, how will they acquire colonies and sell their industrial products in the future?
…
at the same time.
Tianzhu.
Governor Bolt almost jumped out of his chair with joy.
Because a steamship had just arrived at the port of Calcutta ahead of the combined fleet.
This indicates that reinforcements from the West are about to arrive.
“The nightmare is finally over, isn’t it? Luther.” Bolt said to an officer beside him.
He is Luther.
After fleeing to Southeast China, he arrived in Tianzhu under the escort of the Franks.
After Britain and Frank divided the huge wealth of Wu.
His application was approved.
Now, he has been recalled as an officer under Bolt.
He will carry the flame of revenge and burn the song with the coalition forces.
